New control Senking tunnel with 18 compartments

New Control System for Jensen Senking Tunnel Washer with 18 Compartments

By order of Botved, leading supplier of equipment and systems for industrial laundries in Scandinavia,  Senso Technics developed and installed a new control for the Jensen Senking tunnel washer with 18 compartments at Vraa dampvaskeri in Danmark.

The mechanical installation was still in excellent condition, but the control system required a modern, future-proof upgrade. With the new control solution, the tunnel washer is now more efficient, reliable, and optimized for sustainable operation.

Vraa Dampvaskeri is a large industrial laundry specialized in processing hospitality linen, towels, mops, company clothing, and mats.

A Special Project for Senso Technics

“This tunnel washer is a very special one. There are only a few Jensen Senking tunnel washers wiht 18 compartments still operating worldwide, says our PLC Software Engineer at Senso Technics.
Developing a new control system for this Senking tunnel was therefore a unique and challenging project. The strength of this installation lies in its versatility and advanced water reuse concept.
In addition to using filtered water through the  AquaCycler of Ecolab, Vraa Dampvaskeri stores filtered rinse water in large buffer vessels for reuse later in the washing process. This setup significantly reduces water and energy consumption.

To support this sustainable approach, Senso Technics developed several smart control features, ensuring optimal management of water flows, buffers, and process timing. maximizing efficiency without compromising wash quality.
